Louisville Metro’s Interim Chief Promoted to Chief

Louisville interim Police Chief Paul Humphrey, a two-decade veteran of the department, was named full-time chief on Monday, the Associated Press reports.

Humphrey took over as interim chief in June when former Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel was suspended for her handling of a sexual harassment claim within the department.

Before the permanent assignment this week, Humphrey was the city's fourth interim chief since 2020.
